Success Story

Suzanne van Rooyen reports:

Just wanted to let you know that around this time last you critted my query for my novel then titled Angels in Atlantis: http://evileditor.blogspot.fi/2011/08/face-lift-940.html Based
on the issues raised in my query and the constructive comments of EE
and readers, I revamped the entire book. The new, improved ms went on to
become a
semi-finalist in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award 2012 and in
August, I signed with New York agent Jordy Albert. Just wanted to say
thank you for lending a hand in my writing career. I always send
aspiring query writers to Evil Editor for a reality check and some good
advice before sending their material out into the world.

Question: A friend of mine was also a semi-finalist. Did you mention the amazon contest in your query, or no? I think it would be a good idea for my friend to do so, but just wondered how you played it.
